It finally hit me that night as I sat on the couch that evening next to Garret. I felt like I could still taste his load in the back of my throat. And it really sank in that I had probably done more submissive bottom shit in the last 48 hours than in the years since I came out. It felt strange.
I'd always enjoyed topping more, and that hadn't changed. When I topped someone, I felt more in control. Not just in terms of the obvious reasons, but like more in control of myself? Like I could be happy for someone to see me. For me to walk in on myself in that position. It felt hot. I felt hot. When I bottomed I was always so self-conscious. If I pictured walking in on myself in that position it felt very different.
That doesn't mean it wasn't also hot. But it was hot in a way that made me uncomfortable. Its like the emotional version of the physical feelings of pleasure and vulnerability that one has when someone is sliding their cock into them.
"How do you do it?" I asked Garret.
"Do what?" He asked. He had a dopey look of genuine confusion on his face.
"Let yourself be so... vulnerable to someone. Knowing they could think any number of things about you. Looking down at you while you slobber on their dick?"
Garret laughed. "Well, I think it's hot so that helps..." then he paused and his smile faded. He looked at me concerned. "Do you not think it's hot?"
"It's not that I don't find it hot... it is undeniably hot. It's more like... like I keep picturing myself from outside my body as I watch... and it feels..."
"Wrong? Bad? Gross? Stupid?"
"No... none of those. It feels... like I'm way to vulnerable. Like I can't control how I look to others. I don't think I look pathetic. I'm worried other people think I look pathetic..."
Garret was quiet for a while. Then he spoke. "Do you think I look pathetic when I take dick?"
"What? Absolutely not. You look... like you are so happy. Like you radiate a glow," I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his neck.
I looked into his eyes, and he smiled shyly. "Do you think others would look at me and think I'm pathetic?"
This I had a harder time answering. "I- I guess yeah. I would think that some assholes would."
"Some might, that's true. But I don't feel pathetic. I feel.... right. Like this warm feeling that spreads all over..." Then Garret got very thoughtful. "Maybe the filming is just what you need."
"You think?"
"Yeah. I think it might help you see yourself from outside and see how hot it really is. And maybe you can finally let go about what other people see."
"It sounds like you want me to turn into a bottom slut like you," I chided.
"Well... maybe a little. Doesn't mean I want you to stop fucking me, so don't worry there. But it would be fun to make out with you while we both get railed..."
"You've thought about this already!"
"Babe, over the past two days I've thought about quite a lot of new scenes for us to get into!" He laughed and I joined him.
"So, what is the message here? That I just have to give in? Is taking all these dicks I have so far not considered giving in?"
"Look, we both know you are competitive and there's a lot of money you stand to win, but let's not pretend that's the same as giving into true primal cock lust. Vinny is particularly talented at eliciting that from you, it seems. No, you have not truly given in yet. I'm excited for if and when you finally do..."
We lay together a while longer just rubbing each other's arms, holding each other. Then I got a notification on my phone. It was a text from Vinny to a group chat.
"Hello to all of our wonderful contestants! Plan this week is a different gangbang every day from our judges. Don't worry. All of us are very practiced in cumming a lot. We won't be too worn out to fuck you even at the end of the week. But each of you will get a day assigned. We'll fuck you silly, then on Friday night, show a highlight reel and announce the winner of this challenge. The goal is to get all the judges to cum up your sweet holes before you shoot your load out of your caged cocks. The guy who does it and does it faster than the rest wins." I saw others in the group chat marking it with a thumbs up emoji or a variety of others all sharing approval. The next message came in.
"Now don't think that's your only chance to earn points. There is an extra credit assignment... Since you each will be scheduled for your gangbang for just one of the days, but there are loads to be had even outside of our esteemed panel of judges we figured you could enjoy waiting for your turn with a good old fashioned gloryhole. A sponsor has graciously allowed for us to use his home personal gloryhole set up. It's open office hours, so-to-speak. There are multiple booths so no need to worry about multiple contestants using the booths at the same time. Just means more competition. The person who gets the most loads through the gloryhole by Friday will get 100 points. Since the judges won't be available to confirm the loads personally as per our rule, though, we figured out a workaround. The guy dropping his load off will confirm on his way out that he deposited a load and where. You just gotta get it out of him. All the guys will be briefed on this before they arrive to the gloryhole."
This was interesting. Given it was optional, I didn't really see the appeal. But the added points were quite a leap from the 10 I got earlier that day. Even so, this would be far different than what I'd participated in up to this point. Vinny wouldn't be there, and I'd have to voluntarily go to the booths if I wanted to try to get the extra credit. I couldn't see myself doing that. A few minutes passed as I digested this new information, and I got a message individually from Vinny.
"Hey slut. Your gangbang is scheduled for Wednesday. Hump day seemed appropriate," Vinny concluded his message with a winking smiley face. "Which means you have the next three days to work the gloryholes if you so choose. Of course it is 100% up to you."
"Yes, sir. I understand. I'll be ready for Wednesday," it was all I felt comfortable replying.
"Right to business, huh slut? Does that mean you aren't going to be taking advantage of this extra credit assignment?"
It took me a minute to think of how to reply. "I am not sure, sir. I'm still new to this side of things. I've never taken a dick at a gloryhole before." It took twenty minutes for him to reply, and I was nervous as hell that I'd disappointed him. The text notification was anxiety-inducing when it finally came.
"It's up to you, slut. Text me before you go if you decide to, though." He sent me the address and the instructions to get in. I replied an affirmative and remembered to call him sir.
All Sunday I was nervously wondering if I should go and try a shift at the gloryholes. On the one hand it was anonymous. Meaning no one would see me slobbering on cock. Or even pressing my hole against one coming through the wall. Yet, what really had gotten me in the right headspace to do this was Vinny. And he wouldn't be there in this case. I consulted Garret several times and he gave me encouragement but reminded me that it was extra credit and in no way required. By Monday morning on my way to work I'd decided I'd just skip out on it. It was giving me all kinds of anxiety and since the benefit was extra points, I thought that it really didn't seem worth it.
In fact, I was nervous enough with the upcoming gangbang. The group chat was blowing up on Sunday and Monday with announcements of the other contestants submitting to their own gangbang challenges. Seems the first two sessions were wild, and we even got a few sneak peaks of Trent and Duane's gaping holes dripping with cum. It stirred the top in me, and I felt my cock straining against its cage looking at the pics. Obviously, that felt a bit frustrating, but I tried not to think too much about it. After all, I was in it for the long haul and my competitive nature was stronger than my discomfort.
One convenient thing about the cage was it stopped me from tenting my pants at work, which was nice. Though it also made it much easier to be distracted as the random ways it pressed on my skin throughout my workday. Not to mention the feeling I got that everyone knew I was caged. Nothing actually indicated that was the case, but I couldn't help but worry about it. Which then transitioned into me worrying about my gangbang on Wednesday. I'd agreed to have it be recorded, and Vinny assured me that only I would get a copy, but of course I knew that wasn't a for sure thing. If it existed, there was a chance someone I didn't want to see it would see it. If it was a video of me topping, I didn't care. I'd never had a full porn production, but I've certainly snapped some pics and recorded some videos here and there. The idea of my boss seeing those never bothered me. This would be different.
As though feeling my sense of unease through the ether, Vinny texted me right then. He said it seemed I wasn't going to be going for the extra credit.
"Sorry Vinny. I'm honestly nervous as hell about the gangbang..." I messaged back.
"Did you just call me Vinny, slut?" The words sounded blunt with their simplicity.
